Video: Walgrove Wildlands

After six bungalows were removed at Walgrove Elementary, leaving 25,000 square feet of asphalt “blight”, principal Olivia Adams and organizing parents Emiko Kuwata, Zara Bennett and Clare Carey approached the LAUSD with the idea of converting the area back to “natural landscape”.

A lot of hard work later, LAUSD approved the project and the “Walgrove Wildlands” project began last November.

On April 20th and 21st, the group will be hosting community planting days for the “Wildlands”. Check out their website for more information! Help plant! Help make food for people that are planting! Help build benches! Help raise money! Get involved!

Yo! Venice! was started by two friends, Keri and Bret, to create a communal blog for residents of Venice Beach California.
In today’s world of RSS feeds, they felt that a blog would be a perfect place for people to let others know how they view the Venice Beach community through words and pictures. It is hoped that this site will become a communal blog with many people submitting stories for all in the community to share.
